Possible the branch checkin that was merged in should have a tag "naming" the completed subset of the feature. The feature isn't finished yet so the branch is still open. Actually I think there is a small issue that leaves can be closed, but not branches, so if the only descendant of the "last" checkin in the branch is the trunk checkin resulting from the merge, there is no way to "close" the branch. Also nothing stops you re-using _any_ branch name later.
